Research Abstract |
This study approaches multilayered globalization through analysis of trans-border trading among countries in East Africa. In this study, it became clear that larger trading networks were now being developed, connecting cities in East Africa, among clothing traders in a manner that is detached from the existing relationships based on ethnicity, religions, or home-town regions, after the reformation of the Eastern African Customs Union. The reformation of the Eastern African Customs Union(localization), encouraged by the countries in East Africa against the race to capture the market between advanced countries and developing countries, has allowed end traders to reorganize a global and unique clothing trading network(re-globalization) set on the"localization."
